Food for Thought: You don’t have to stick with t

Food for Thought: You don’t have to stick with the first practitioner you meet. Do your research. Ask them questions. Try them out. If you aren’t getting what you know you need to feel comfortable and safe in their hands, don’t be afraid to speak up and change doctors. Working with a doctor you trust can change your entire health experience.

We in the Collective want to take a moment to hono

We in the Collective want to take a moment to honor and appreciate the incredible women who joined us on this walk and the women who aren’t here with us today. Motherhood is a journey filled with love, sacrifice, and boundless strength. It’s a role that shapes lives, nurtures souls, and builds futures.

To all the mothers who walk through our doors, whether it’s for a relaxing bike ride, an energizing workout, or simply a fun walk with their daughters, we see you. We see your dedication to your family, your commitment to your own health and well-being, and your unwavering resilience in the face of challenges.

You are the backbone of our communities, the heartbeat of our families, and the epitome of grace under pressure. Your ability to balance it all—nurturing your loved ones while still prioritizing your own health—is nothing short of remarkable.

On this special holiday, we want to express our deepest
gratitude to each and every one of you. Thank you for inspiring us with your strength, for teaching us the true meaning of unconditional love, and for embodying the essence of womanhood in its purest form.

May your Mother’s Day be filled with joy, love, and the recognition you so richly deserve.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Loving and embracing your body can be a struggle f

Loving and embracing your body can be a struggle for most women, especially when hormone shifts come and life changes happens.

But times up for that…

How can you show your body love?
1. Nourish it - It deserves it even if it looks different than it did in college.
2. Rest it - Sleep is self care PERIOD.
3. Buy clothes that fit it - Trying to shrink ourselves into our college jeans is a no-go.
4. Move it - Moving your body bring strength, endurance, and supports those happy hormones!

Speaking of movement, will you be joining us Saturday for our Mother’s Day Community walk?!

Be sure to DM us to RSVP!

But does it serve me? Our most recent GNAW Guest

But does it serve me?

Our most recent GNAW Guest Coach, Christina Runnels, guided us through how to notice symptoms of hormone shifts in our bodies and how to cope with them in a healthy way both mentally and physically.

She noted, when noticing these changes within your body, there are ways you can mediate them yourself and then sometimes there are symptoms that require an appointment with your practitioner.

Remember to give yourself grace and ask “Does this thought serve me?” before continuing on a negative thought journey.

Have you tried this?!

#healthycurves #blacknutritionist #blacknutritioncoach #blackdietitian #healthisyourwealth #everybodyisagoodbody #mybodyisbeautiful #bodypositivity #loveyourbodynow #blackwomenshealth #wholebodyhealth #healthishappiness

Ugh… hormones! We know girl… we feel you! Bu

Ugh… hormones!

We know girl… we feel you! But we came bearing gifts today…

Good news, contrary to popular belief… navigating hormones shifts IS possible.

Here are 3 things you can start doing right now to make that happen according to our chat with Christina Runnels @official_christinarunnels :

1. Give yourself grace - it’s okay to look and feel different than you did 5 years ago. Embrace where you are now!
2. Sleep - Overnight recovery can’t happen if you are always falling short on sleep! This is one thing that seems so minor but can have such a significant impact.
3. Nourish well - Eating regularly and loading up on mood boosting foods are the key to success here. Food can and is multifunctional!

Simple enough right? 😆… We know life it busy, so the challenge for you will be to try focusing on one of these things first and then tackle the next! What will you try first?!

This past week we had the privilege of working wit

That athlete life = busy How do you take breaks?

That athlete life = busy

How do you take breaks? We talk about how the game is 90% mental, but did you know that goes beyond being a student of the game and your sport specific IQ? When you take mental breaks it gives your mind a chance to recover. Here are 3 ways we teach our clients to recover:

1. Schedule time to set up a bedtime routine that involves removing screens and engaging in something that relaxes them like reading, deep breathing, journaling or whatever they like that doesn't involve their sport or training.

2. Brain dumping before bed. This is something one of our referral therapist recommended that has helped a number of our clients let go of the pressures of the day and the expectations for tomorrow.

3. Enjoying a meal without distractions, this was something our co-owner and lead dietitian spoke with @TDAthletesEdge about and it's a real game changer. #PowerPortions

What’s your go to mental break?!

Start your day off right by remembering to eat bef

Start your day off right by remembering to eat before training!

Ideally, consuming 30-60g of simple carbohydrates 15-60 minutes before training. This could be:

- graham crackers
- granola
- fresh fruit
- raisins
- sports drinks
- dried fruit
- pretzels

Do you have a really hard early morning training day? Try consuming a larger meal with lots of carbohydrates hydrates the night before.

Have you ever had a workout that you were hyped about but crashed halfway through? You may have been low on fuel (carbohydrates)! What’s your go-to early morning snack?

Our number one focus - empowering our athletes to exceed their performance goals! #PowerPortions

What's the situation on low carb verses high carb

What's the situation on low carb verses high carb diets for athletes?⁠
⁠
There is a misconceptions around carbs and we are here to clean in up and get you on your way, fueled up!⁠
⁠
Our body uses carbohydrates as it's main source of fuel for activity⁠
In many situations, consuming low carb could eliminate lots of good nutrients and fiber you need⁠
Not consuming carbohydrates for activity may lead to muscle breakdown, hence decreasing performance⁠
⁠
If you want to perform at your best, more often than not, you need carbs. The better question to ask is, when should we have carbs and how much! ⁠
⁠
Choose nutrient-dense carbohydrates for meals and snacks. Simple carb choices can be most beneficial around workouts for quick fueling/refueling. ⁠
⁠
For those athletes that may develop GI issues during activity, choosing an easily digested simple carb might be a good swap for you before your activity. #WholesomeU ⁠
⁠
*There is some research supporting Low Carb High Fat diets for highly trained endurance athletes, but this is something to discuss directly with a licensed nutrition practitioner to see if this may be realistic and sustainable for you!⁠

💪 Monday motivation...⁠
⁠
This is your reminder that your mindset as an athlete doesn't have to fade away with your retirement. There may be slight shifts in the way you think and function but at its core the foundation stays the same - commit and be better than you were yesterday. Your competition is in the mirror. #PowerPortions⁠
